The next morning, I woke up disoriented, unsure of where I was. I felt a slight pressure on my waist but didn't know what it was. I raised my head and saw a pair of arms tightly wrapped around me. Confused, I looked to my side and realized it was Harry.

We had fallen asleep together. His arms were around me, my head was on his chest, and our legs were tangled together. I guessed it was my fault since I tend to move around while sleeping.

I lay back down, tilting my head up to look at him. There was something about this boy that made me feel so at home. I reached up to brush a piece of hair from his face, making him stir slightly but not wake up.

I kept staring at Harry until a small bark broke my daze. I looked towards the sound and saw Snuffles.

"Hey boy, what are you doing here? You're gonna get caught," I whispered to the dog.

He moved closer to the bed's edge and bit down on my shirt sleeve, tugging on it.

"What are you doing, boy? Let go, you're gonna rip my shirt." He kept tugging. "You want me to get up, don't you?" The dog nodded.

This has to be the weirdest dog I've ever seen... To be fair he was the first dog I've actually met.

"Fine, let me just figure out how to untangle myself from this mess without waking Harry."

I carefully maneuvered out of Harry's grasp and the bed. Standing up, I looked at Snuffles.

"I'm up. Now what?" I asked the dog expectantly.

The dog barked and ran the other way. I guessed I was following a dog to Merlin knows where.

I chased Snuffles outside to a more secluded part of Hogwarts.

"Snuffles! Where are you taking me?" I kept chasing the dog. I've really gone mad now, following a dog because it 'told me to.'

"Okay Snuffles, I'm tired. I followed you all the way out here, which I'm not supposed to do. Considering there's a mass murderer looking for me, I should get back before someone notices I'm gone."

I stopped when I heard a grunt nearby. I looked around trying to find the source of the sound when I heard it again. What if it's Sirius Black? I needed to get back to the castle.

"Snuffles, come on, boy." The dog growled in response. "Snuffles, now!" I whispered urgently, already turning to leave, only to have Snuffles bite the hem of my pants, tugging me back. "Stop it, boy, it's not safe—"

"Who's there?" A male voice called out. I stayed still. Great, I'm gonna get murdered by my own father. Just great.

Instead of answering, I took out my wand, looking around paranoid.

"Ophelia? Is that you?" A tired voice asked from behind me. I quickly turned around, wand at the ready.

"Hey-hey, it's alright, it's just me. It's alright, Ophelia, I would never hurt you," Professor Lupin said. I instantly lowered my wand and walked towards him.
